Easy: 1958 Porsche 356A 1600N Reutters cabriolet w/removable steel hardtop. Ah, well.

- 1969 Camaro SS350 (Non-original 1970 LT1 Hugger orange, w/ white top.) - 1971 Corvette Convertable LT1 (Yellow w/ black top. Way sexy car...) - 1971 'Cuda 440 6-pack (Sublime green) - 1977 Ford Pinto (Ugly sky blue color... As if there was a color this car looked GOOD in! - Never got the opportunity to crash something into the back of it to see if these cars really do explode easily... :o) They are all gone...

Let's not forget the dreaded GNX, too. My car (one of) I wished I had not sold? 1961 English Ford Anglia 105E I actually GAVE it back to the guy I bought it from because he said his GF needed a car and I knew he would take good care of it. He sold to someone else about 9 months later. Needless to say we haven't spoken again since then. Though this may seem quite pedestrian to some of you Brits in here, let me tell you this was not the most common thing on the road over here in the USA. People driving Nash Metropolitans would give me thumbs up. I once got out of a parking ticket because the stupid meter maid couldn't figure out what kind of car it was. That little 997cc, red leather interior bomb would go ANYWHERE. It was so narrow I could drive around or through barriers set up to keep 'motorized traffic' out. I was working at a Chevy dealer at the time and the dealership owner made me park it behind the showroom because he thought it distracted people too much from his cars for sale. ~daxe

Let's see .............. 65 Dart 273 Clutch-flite trans, 4.56 rears 69 Roadrunner 383 4bbl, 4 spd trans, 3.23 rears 69 Charger 383 4bbl, 4 spd trans, 3.23 rears 69 Charger 440 4bbl, Torqueflite trans, 3.73 rears 69 Fairlane 428CJ 4bbl, 4 spd trans 3.90 rears (was factory original 428 Cobra Jet..."sniff....") 67 GTO w/69 Ram Air IV 400 4bbl, TH400 trans, 4.11 rears 73 Grand Prix with the above GTO's drive train (now this was a "SLEEPER"!) There's more but I'm feeling suicidal now already.......... Bob

Everytime I hear a V8 I shed a little tear. ;( Crap radio, no air-con, no power steering, no cornering ability but every moment driving it was a complete joy... and it turned LOTS of heads (to the point that people were running up to me in the street begging me to sell it to them - they eventually won). Cheers, Rod.
